Hi Everyone,
This is my first BabylonJS project.
I have created group of lanterns which is called “Pahan Kuduwa” in my country (Sri Lanka).
Those lanterns build to celebrate a religious event called “Vesak” (Vesak - Wikipedia)
- Created various sized custom meshes and calculated UVs using trigonometry.
- Used textures with alpha for pattern cuts that I drew using drawing pad in Photoshop and some pattern ideas are from internet.
- Added emissive colors and glow layer to get lantern effect.
- With rotating and colour changing animations.
Thank you all the founders and contributors of this amazing framework

Hey @Nadeesh_Peiris Pretty cool for a first project !
I can’t help but feel like this could use some background music to go with the nice visuals as well

Thanks for your feedback
Actually I also wanted to add background music. Because, in real events there are religious songs that play in background with these lanterns. So I added a YouTube video as background music. But chrome doesn’t allow autoplay videos with sound. So I removed it. But I could have achieve that with a button click

You could download the video and extract just the audio part and make it part of the Babylon scene
